Hey everyone, I'm using a Compaq ES40, with the DEC Gigabit adapter (DEGSA i
think??) its a 64bit pci card.. on Tru64 5.1.

I got it up and running but its SLOW.. its 100mbit speeds.. does anyone know
of ifconfig speed parameters OR /usr/sbin/lan_config to make sure this thing
is in the right duplex.. i didnt think that was even possible with gigE???
Im so new to gigE. This speed is unaccaptable using a Netapp disk appliance.

Im connecting to a lousy Cabletron SmartSwitch 6000.. so that doesnt help.
ANY ideas will be apreciated!
